  "project_title": "The Skinny Scientist's Transmutation",
  "project_id": "TRANSFORM-SEDAN-SCIENTIST-03",
  "video_type": "Google Veo3 short-form content",
  "target_platform": "YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels",
  "prompt_version": "3.0",
  "video_concept": "An urban fantasy video showing a typical, somewhat beat-up blue Honda Civic transforming into a skinny, disheveled scientist with black hair. The transformation is triggered by an otherworldly, pulsing energy. The tone should be a mix of sci-fi surrealism and quirky humor, with a memorable catchphrase.",
  "duration": "8 seconds",
  "shot": {
    "composition": "A continuous, dynamic 360-degree orbital track shot, starting wide to frame the car and a slice of the street, then tightening to a medium-close shot on the final character.",
    "camera_motion": "A fluid, smooth, and slightly-accelerating circular motion, as if a drone is circling the subject. The final motion freezes as the scientist strikes a pose.",
    "frame_rate": "60fps for hyper-smooth, detailed animation. Brief, 240fps slow-motion burst on the final character's cackle.",
    "lens": "A wide-angle 16mm lens to capture the full scope of the transformation. A subtle, dynamic zoom is applied during the climax to emphasize the character.",
    "film_grain": "Clean, digital cinematography with no film grain, but with a slight chromatic aberration and digital noise effect at the start of the transformation.",
    "depth_of_field": "Shallow depth of field, with the focus pulling from the car to the emerging character during the transformation."
  },
  "subject": {
    "car_description": "A beat-up, 1990s-era four-door blue Honda Civic. It has noticeable dents, a slightly rusty fender, and a faded paint job.",
    "scientist_description": "A skinny, lanky scientist character with slicked-back black hair, a single eyebrow, and large, thick-rimmed circular glasses that are slightly askew. He wears a stained, oversized lab coat over a torn white t-shirt. His expression is one of maniacal glee.",
    "scientist_pose": "The scientist stands with one hand on his hip and the other raised in a 'jazz hands' gesture, with an exaggerated, confident lean. His knees are slightly bent.",
    "emotion": "The initial emotion is an eerie calm, which explodes into maniacal, unhinged joy.",
    "dialogue": "As he strikes the final pose, he lets out a guttural, joyful 'BZZZZZZ-PLANG!', and cackles."
  },
  "scene": {
    "location": "A slick, rain-drenched urban alleyway. Graffiti is visible on the brick walls, and garbage cans are strewn about.",
    "time_of_day": "Late night. The only illumination is from a single flickering neon sign and the streetlights at either end of the alley.",
    "environment_details": "Rain puddles on the ground reflect the neon lights. Steam rises from a nearby sewer grate. The atmosphere is grimy and mysterious."

    "timeline": [
      {
        "t": "0-1.5s",
        "action": "The beat-up blue Honda Civic is parked in the alley. An unnatural, neon green glow emanates from its interior. The car begins to vibrate violently, headlights flickering wildly. The camera begins its slow orbital track."
      },
      {
        "t": "1.5-5.5s",
        "action": "The car's metal body panels ripple and melt like liquid, peeling away to reveal a skeletal, glowing energy form underneath. The wheels and chassis compress and stretch, forming the character’s skinny legs. The windshield and steering wheel coalesce into the character's facial features and glasses. This is the main transformation sequence, fluid and mesmerizing."
      },
      {
        "t": "5.5-7.0s",
        "action": "The car's trunk unfolds into an oversized lab coat that wraps around the character. Slick black hair erupts from the top of the head. The character's face fully forms with a wide, deranged grin and their eyes snap open."
      },
      {
        "t": "7.0-8.0s",
        "action": "The character strikes their final pose. The camera completes its orbit and freezes. The character looks directly into the camera, shouts 'BZZZZZZ-PLANG!', and lets out a short, guttural cackle. The video ends on a freeze-frame of the cackle."
      }
    ]
  },
  "cinematography": {
    "lighting": "The alley is initially lit by a faint, cool blue from streetlights. The transformation is lit by an intense, pulsating neon green and electric purple light source from within the car, casting dynamic, fast-moving shadows. The final shot is lit by this green and purple glow, with the scientist’s glasses flaring with a bright lens flare.",
    "style": "Surreal and highly saturated, with a clean digital aesthetic.",
    "tone": "Surprising, energetic, and slightly unhinged."
  },
  "audio": {
    "ambient": "Low-level city hum, distant sirens, and the sound of dripping water from rain.",
    "music": "A driving, off-kilter synth-wave track builds in intensity throughout the transformation.",
    "dialogue": "A short, sharp, and confident shout of 'BZZZZZZ-PLANG!' followed by a maniacal cackle.",
    "sound_design_rules": {
      "spatial_audio": "The sounds of the transformation should emanate from the center of the frame, with the background ambient sounds being spatialized to the left and right.",
      "foley_details": [
        "The car's metal body panels tearing",
        "The sound of glass shattering and reforming",
        "The squishing and stretching of organic material",
        "The 'boing' of the final pose"
      ],
      "audio_mix": "The dialogue and music should be at the forefront of the mix, with the sound effects subtly supporting the visuals."

    "car_transformation_mechanics": "The transformation should look like a blend of organic and technological processes. The metal panels fold and reform as if made of soft clay, but with the sharp edges and sounds of machinery. The Honda Civic's specific body lines should be recognizable as they begin to warp.",
    "character_emergence": "The scientist's skinny body should form from the car's interior, with wires and mechanical parts seamlessly blending into bone and muscle. The glasses should form from the car's headlights.",
    "final_pose_animation": "The final pose should be held for a full second, with a subtle, dynamic animation of the character’s breathing and a twitch in their eye, adding to their 'unhinged' personality."
